I was told I will face 2 medium leetcode questions at phone interview. I also want ti give myself 4 weeks to study. First time looking at leetcode, so there is a lot to cover. How can I maximize my chances. I see 4 possibilities.
1. Solve easy questions on my own to build true understanding.
2. Memorize solutions to easy questions for shallow understanding.
3. Memorize solutions to medium questions for shallow understanding.
4. Solve medium questions on my own to build true understanding.
I don't think adding a mix of easy and medium makes sense. Of course i know none of it may matter much as the chances don't improve much given the time constraints. But humor me even if the chances only improve by .00000002 percent.
After you got that answer in your head, does it change if I said 8 weeks?
On a different topic, what are DP questions? I've seen the term mentioned here.

Remember why you are doing this, which is to be proficient in the concepts and know when they are appropriate as well how to actually program them. Don’t waste time trying to memorize the problems.
So I am slightly hopeful that solving the questions on leetcode is helpful in that it provides a concrete example of tool usage. Of course you have to recognize the tools you are using for each problem and be able to recognize when another problem calls for the same tool. That's the part i'm stuck on, so maybe leetcode is not the best tool for that.
